TIM JONES-YELVINGTON

Prism Buttock…

Stitch and thread seam blue to red 
O honey, yr daddy is so not dead 
To me, any excuse to buy a new dress! 
Fire and ice is not yr theme, it's a 
Song by Pat Benatar
Feathered coat, french libertine 
ARE U CHUCK ON THE GOSSIP GIRL NO MEANS NO
Submit to special daddy issue for 
Sad little boys sitting

…Refract Yr Splurge

Decking underoos
Party like it's 19 yr old boyz
In the boat house hump house
Till yr tongue rudders
Lipstick, talcum, tip of the tinge
Swoon fed moisture panties
Making licking stock
Bleadership is fallovership
It comes from the bottom's pup tent 
Look out, yr heading for troubled teens!
